Date Published: 2023-12-27

Abstract:
Subjective well-being refers to a person’s perception and experience of positive and negative emotional responses and global and specific cognitive evaluations of satisfaction with life. From , the Ministry of Education of China has been implementing a policy which is called “Free Normal Education” for college students majoring in education in six main normal universities affiliated to the Ministry of Education. Subsequently, the Chinese government begin to encourage more normal universities to carry out free teacher education in order to train a large number of primary, secondary, and kindergarten teachers, consequently the tuition-free normal university students (also known as tuition-free pre-service teacher) have become an important group in Chinese normal university, and they also have become target populations for researchers. In recent years, the subjective well-being of TFNUS may prove to be an area of increasing concern, because it may not only affect their own mental health, and decisions to stay in the teaching profession, but also can significantly influence their future student’s perception of stress, learning motivation and academic achievement. However, little attention has been paid to the positive factors (eg, profession-related support) that may influence TFNUS’ subjective well-being. Furthermore, there is no study to investigate the specific-domain support which centers on TFNUS’s profession, and comparing the relative prediction of profession-related support from different sources, such as government, teacher and parent, on subjective well-being. Therefore, the first aim of our study is to explore the relationship between profession-related support and TFNUS’s subjective well-being and identify the relative importance of each source, in order to provide new knowledge for the previous research.
